Also, that sucks about your arm, what happened?
Basically just depends on the size of their shoulders. I need to have enough room to get into hindu control with my elbow behind my foot. For me that's alot of people, for others it might not be. You need to stay within a decent range of your weightclass with rubber guard anyway as many of the moves depend on shoulder size and the added weight/force can be dangerous for your knees.
Freak accident. Broke it while applying a mounted triangle in live rolls. My forearm broke under my own pressure. Hand gripping the foot of the leg around his head, forearm pressuring in to make room to get my leg over my foot to lock up the triangle.

Then one day I decided to just take the "reverse pretzel grip" by not thinking about the grip but just almost violently pushing the free hand as deep as possible. Now I am getting hindulotines every day and I salute you for giving me this cool and effective new weapon
Ah yes! That is super key. I've said a few times, but should probably emphasize more, just leave your right hindu control arm as a straight up and down jailbar against their shoulder/head. The purpose of this arm is simply to lock them in place. Don't try to get it under their throat like a typical guillotine choke. The left free hand is the one that is going to grab your right hand and pull it over and up to make the choke. Just keep your hindu hand in place and dive your left hand in. You can even dive your left hand in way past your right, then grab the right hand as you are sliding it back out.
Another key I probably haven't emphasized enough is this can sometimes be a slow choke. Just raise both your elbows as high as you can and hold it. Sometimes I will hold it for 15-20 seconds before I get the tap. It typically gets tighter and tighter as my elbows keep slowly inching higher. Fortunately it doesn't take much strength to maintain this choke so you can hold out for awhile. Just be patient and wait, they have nowhere to go.

Thanks. I figured it would help to see the transitions hit under pressure too.
